Set value of slider field

Function: Set value of slider field​

This action allows you to programmatically update the value of a slider component on your form. Instead of a user manually dragging the slider, you can use this action to set its value to a specific number, which can be useful for pre-filling forms, adjusting settings based on other data, or automating interactions. Once set, this new value is available for other actions to use.

Input​

  • UI element (Slider Field): This is the specific slider component on your form that you want to modify. You must select an existing slider field from your application's design.
  • Answer (Number): This is the numerical value you want to set the slider to. This value should typically fall within the minimum and maximum range defined for your slider field.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output that you can immediately use in a subsequent step. Instead, its effect is to update the selected slider field's value internally within your application. This updated value can then be accessed or used by other actions or components that interact with that specific slider field.

      • UI element (Slider Field): Service Quality Rating Slider
      • Answer (Number): 0
